Painting of Latrun Internment Camp – Avigdor Kipnis, 1947
Painting of Latrun Internment camp' pencil and water color on paper. Signed: A. Kipnis, Latrun, 1947.
The painting illustrates electrical power lines, barbed wire fences, barracks, watch towers and a watch post.

This movement opposed the British mandate and believed in the return of Jews to their homeland even through using force.
